Óbidos is a town of approximately 3100 inhabitants located in the Estremadura Province, in Portugal. The area was taken from the Moors by the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, in 1148

Next to the castle is the Church of Santiago, which was the fortress Chapel.

Now a bookstore inhabits this deconsecrated church. Fantastic concept, great interior.

In the midst of souvenir shops and tourist savy cafes, one can find a true gem of shopping fundamental goods: Vila Literária Óbidos sells both secondhand books and organic fruit and vegetables. The two product segments come together in emptied fruit boxes which cover all four walls from floor to ceiling, making for an appealing vintage interior design.

Igreja de Sao Pedro St. Peter’s Church  is a  Gothic temple founded during the middle Ages, originally with three naves.The 1755 earthquake destroyed the temple. Later, it was completely rebuilt.
